Hyderabad is experiencing humid conditions with temperatures reaching 84°F (29°C) during the day and dropping to 70°F (21°C) at night. The city faces increasing clouds with a couple of thunderstorms expected late Monday night. Tuesday will continue with afternoon thunderstorms and mostly cloudy, humid conditions.

The IMD warning emphasizes that these thunderstorms may occur at isolated places, meaning not all areas within the warned districts will necessarily experience severe weather simultaneously. However, residents should remain vigilant and avoid outdoor activities during peak thunderstorm hours.
The broader weather pattern shows that southern India continues to experience active weather systems while monsoon withdrawal progresses across central and northern states. Telangana, along with Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh, remains under the influence of weather systems bringing continued rainfall and thunderstorm activity through mid-October.
This persistent thunderstorm activity reflects the transitional weather pattern as the region moves from monsoon to post-monsoon conditions, with atmospheric instability creating favorable conditions for localized severe weather events across the state.
